Big Crane 03:32
I stepped out in the dirty rain, Stood beneath the bog old crane A young man in a strangers coat Chains hanging ‘round his throat Singing big crane drag me out Big crane gonna lift my doubt As I stood beneath the big old crane I see the castle, I see the church, Hear the bells down at Ode de Kirk Big crane make it stop Take away this ticking clock Big crane drag me out Big crane gonna lift my doubt As I stood beneath the big old crane Someone catch me if I fall ‘Cause I made my bed on the Berlin wall Have mercy if I sleep Rock me slowly rock me deep Big crane hear my shout Big crane gonna lift my doubt As I stood beneath the big old crane Take my seat on this train Watch the city roll away Big crane brought me back Lifted me back on the tracks Big crane heard my shout Big crane gonna lift my doubt As I stood beneath the big old crane As I stood beneath the big old crane

Don’t ask me to talk 'Cause I don’t wanna fight Don’t ask me to stay 'Cause I made up my mind And I may be blue, baby Blue but I’m free It’s been seven days since I left home You gave me seven weeks to go on my own And I may be blue, baby Blue but I’m free Tell me how does it feel to be on your own? Tell me how does it feel to be on your own? Does it make you blue, baby Blue as the Danube?

Don't Go 03:10
I thought I found a four leaf clover But it had only three Buried in the dirt beneath my feet I thought I saw a thousand flowers Blowing across the beach But it was only rubbish from the streets I thought we’d built an ivory tower To stand the test of time But now I see the cracks all up it’s side When the stones came tumbling down And landed in the sea I could feel you holding onto me saying Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go I’ve got one foot on the boat The other is on the shore And I can’t keep my balance anymore And if absence makes the heart grow fonder Then I think I need more time ‘Cause I have trouble staying in the lines Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go
